Hey!

I hoped that I won't need to write here about this, but i encountered a problem when rooting my HTC. The problem is when I want to load into 4ext or cmw, it just dosen't load. It starts then "dies out" and boots up normally. Unitl now i followed this steeps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813818), even though I have GSM shooter_u edition. I also tried this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Qx18x4uM4) but without success.

Please help!
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
So are you unlocked?

Did the recovery flash successfully?

Does it actually turn itself off?

Are you typing an adb command, or using the bootloader menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] vex3um:
Yes I unlocked it easily, I'll upload video so that you'll see exactly what I did and what happens. And also recently adb has also started somehow chrasing as you'll see and all files are from previous xda post which I linked.

And since I didn't post 10 posts, I cant publish links outside of this forum, so you'll have to delete few spaces in this link. youtu be/cmZ359uLCA8
[HTC EVO 3D] vex3um:
Come on some one must know why is this not working! So what happens with my phone (if you dont want to watch video, because you think it is spam). I paste in following commands "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/" (it works, every thing is done in about 3.75 sec), then "adb reboot bootloader" (dose work) and then I enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", does everything fine but when I revoer it, it starts loading, but the after 10 sec screen just goes black and it reboots again in android.
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
I don't understand why you're pushing to your sd card. When I flash recovery it is in SDK-tools folder, not on sd card

Is your phone CDMA or GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
I think there is a way to flash through bootloader as a pg86img but I'm not 100%
[HTC EVO 3D] vex3um:
It's GSM, I pushed it to sd card because it was in instructions.
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
Ok, how about a link to the instructions you ar using.

What folder are you using for adb

If your Rom still boots, you could try flash image GUI

Try a different recovery, check md5

Run ruu if none of that workd
[HTC EVO 3D] vex3um:
I've already linked them in first post.

How do i do that?

Already tried one more.

Can you please link it..
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
you were following a cdma guide??

you should probably follow this guide if youre gsm, make sure you are using the correct files for gsm

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535987

i wasnt thinking at the time, but you cannot use flash image gui without root
[HTC EVO 3D] vex3um:
Hey!

I've finally rooted it. I found this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994301, which has 1.53 hboot. Thanks anyway!
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
The following is my understanding of the problem. If any corrects or updates need to be made just post and I will update the OP.

Many N5 users are on Sprint noticing that they are not connecting to LTE. The key here is that the N5 is a single radio Triband LTE CDMA device. There is also a great post that explains everything here (thanks LordLugard) and technical pros and cons as well as nice information on the current state of the network are on post #8.

From the s4gru post:

So in other words your N5 cannot get phone calls and texts when using LTE while on old crappy legacy towers so it keeps you on 3G.

Warning, I am not responsible for any problems following this advice or code causes. In fact I suggest you stop reading, close your browser and never come back to XDA.

But wait there's a fix!!!

Well not really... but kinda. Type *#*#4636#*#* into your phone dialer and then go to Phone information. From here you can set preferred network type. Choose LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) (in rare cases LTE only (PRL) maybe required). Now you will auto connect to LTE if it is available. The problem is that if your on a legacy tower you will not receive texts or phone calls when on LTE. It's easy enough to switch between LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) and LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) on the fly but that's no solution, it just builds the hatred in your blood.

Update - This app is not needed but will be left up. See update 2.

I've built a really simple app to help with this. All the app does is put the above code into your clipboard and launch your dialer. You can then just paste and it will launch the Tester/PhoneInfomation of your phone.

Full source here. The apk is also in the repo.

Update 2

No Dialer codes need. Just install this app and it will launch the activity you need. Credit to DMX31 for posting this link I this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] Itchiee:
I haven't had any issues so far with LTE (sending texts, making and receiving calls) on my Nexus 5 and i'm in a spark launch city.

I'm not even going to pretend to understand half of what's being discussed because I don't care enough...
[Nexus 5 General] musclehead84:
I have a lte tower right by my house and can't conext to lte on my n5. 4 other phones connect just fine cause it's a strong signal. Called sprint and they said it's a known problem. This is ridiculous. If it's not fixed by my 14 days it's going back. Can't stand not having lte
[Nexus 5 General] H2Beg:
This problem effects me, so bad to the point I just sold my N5 and went back to my CM S3. Kudos if you're not having issues, but lots are. The hours on tech support and browsing forums searching for a fix is not worth the effort over a piece of plastic to me with no ETA on when all the towers will be upgraded. Probably months out in my particular area. Happily chugging along on LTE again, maybe I'll try the nexus again next year.
[Nexus 5 General] graffix31:
Wait of the n5 is single band lte and sprint is changing their phones to single band to. Shouldn't this be a problem soon to go away?
[Nexus 5 General] afazel:
It's only a problem in some markets. No issues where I am, for example, but in Chattanooga where I will be moving, the towers are only 4G accepted, not 3G/4G (from what I hear). This problem should be going away for anyone in completed 3G markets soon, and for markets that are not 3G accepted, Sprint should be ramping up the pace of the completions through vendor incentives.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
I think that the key is them updating their towers. I don't know about where you live but that doesn't occur quickly in Raleigh North Carolina.
[Nexus 5 General] lilotimz:
The key is Network Vision 3G upgrades so the phone can talk to the eCSFB side of the network. Incumbent vendor regions that are mostly not affected are regions where Alcatel-Lucent took over Lucent and Ericsson took over Nortel. Those should be fine and if there are issues then it's really just a software update on the cell site.

In areas where there's non-incumbent equipment then it's a big deal. Areas taken over such as Motorola will have an issue. Then there are the Samsung vendor regions.

Every Samsung region is a non-incumbent region (except PR/VI) and are guaranteed to have issues because Samsung is replacing Nortel, Motorola (hard handoffs known for a while - see Chicago), and etc. According to the document I'll quote below the only mitigation for the eCSFB gaps are to actually quickly complete the network rollout / conversion and fire up NV 3G as soon as possible so Tri-Band devices can actually talk to the LTE core and 3G side.

Explains the apparent "lack" of work in Samsung markets but a huge number of sites physically completed. No time for acceptance / integration when you must complete as many sites as possible to mitigate the eCSFB gaps.
[Nexus 5 General] squshy 7:
^^this. To the OP, this is only a temporary problem, as it is not in Sprint's future plan to keep any markets in a eCSFB gap. This is just an unfortunate side-effect of the rollout not being finished.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
RANT:

Temporary yes but really what does that mean. I'm guessing maybe between 1-2 years? By the time it's fixed in my area I might not even have this phone any longer. Their network has been a mess for years and I'm paying good money for this crap.
[Nexus 5 General] persibro:
Is this related to my data dropping completely by any chance? I can connect to 3G and 4G fine, but after a random amount of time the data connecting just disappears but I can still make calls and send texts.

The Nexus 5 is a great phone, but I'm finding this whole situation pretty frustrating so far.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
I have not experienced that and it doesn't sound like the same problem to me...
[Nexus 5 General] DXM31:
The easiest way(for me) to toggle between networks is this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network&hl=en

No dialer codes needed.
[Nexus 5 General] Cuppeerr:
So here's something that's happening to me. I'll send a message and it'll be stuck on sending. BUT. If I place a call and let it connect then hang up the text will go through fine. I'm in Dallas and have LTE almost everywhere but my house lol. Sometimes i'll get LTE upstairs at my house.

I can also remember doing this on my Evo 3D around September-November 2011

[Nexus 5 General] geoff2k:
When I go into *#*#4636#*#* and force LTE Only in Phone info, the radio indicator in the notification area shows me as having four bars of LTE, but the Current network indicator stays in the Searching for Service state and never progresses past this point.

I am however, able to run a ping test on that screen, and while both the "ping hostname" and "http client test" pass, the "ping ipaddr" test fails with "IP addr not reachable".

Is this what others are experiencing as well in markets where you have to force LTE?
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
[MENTION=4073178]geoff2k[/MENTION] Yes to all.
[Nexus 5 General] hshshawn:
I'm so sick of Sprint good thing my contract is up in January and I bought mine on the play store. I am in Ohio and this issue is guaranteed to be on going for the life of the n5 for me. If it is not an issue in your area Great that is awesome for you.

If you are having issues expect them for a long time Sprint is always behind/delayed/screwing up roll outs and this network vision is no different. Correct me if I'm wrong but want the bulk of this to be completed by 2014?No way that is happening.
[Nexus 5 General] steezc:
I think by then we will all be leaving haha. My contract is over in June ...and if there are no improvement then I'm switching really

Nonsense. If anyone wants to know precisely what the status is on a tower by tower basis in every single market go subscribe to the s4gru.com forums and read everything you'll ever want to know.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
It shouldn't take that much effort or time to get the service your paying for. As soon as my contract is up in :crying: August :crying: I'm gone.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
I would love to know that as well, it would be great information for the OP.
[Nexus 5 General] jkcarp94:
It shouldn't be. Correct. But it is. If you saw the headlines this week Verizon is having to take corrective measures to fix LTE capacity problems now. Sprint is building an entirely new network. An informed decision can only be made by understanding the spectrum owned and how the carrier is deploying that spectrum.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Any problems in an officially announced LTE market appear to have been fixed already. The problems seem to be in unannounced markets. Can't believe there would be grounds in an unannounced market.
[Nexus 5 General] jdawg0024:
I have a question that may belong here. I bought the N5 from the playstore and I live in an area that doesn't have LTE from Sprint Yet. Coming from the HTC EVO 4G LTE I was able to be on a phone Call and still go on the web (3G) at the same time. With the N5 I can't do that. The 3G disappears when I'm in a call. Why would this phone not be capable of doing that?
[Nexus 5 General] AerodynamicTrunks:
no svdo on n5, but i'm hoping i don't miss it as much as i think i will.
[Nexus 5 General] musclehead84:
This is terrible for me too. I have a lte tower right by my house and can't get it on my n5. This sucks. Phone is going back.
[Nexus 5 General] jkcarp94:
Did you read the link posted just one page back in this forum explaining why you can't get LTE on the Nexus 5 right now under certain circumstances?
[Nexus 5 General] blackplague1347:
So if you use Google Voice to make a phone call, it doesn't use LTE?
[Nexus 5 General] dakoellis:
When did it ever? Gv doesn't have a phone app built in
[Nexus 5 General] blackplague1347:
I wouldn't know, that's why I asked. People talk about using Google Voice for phone calls all the time, but I don't really understand it. Until I encountered this issue with my N5, I hadn't really felt compelled to.
[Nexus 5 General] dakoellis:
gotcha. Basically you can use google voice to initiate a call from the computer on your phone, or you can use it to initiate a call through hangouts on your computer, or you could use it to initiate a call through another app if you have a data calling app on your phone or computer, but GV itself doesn't have the ability to make a call.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
The problem is I am an announced area and it is not fixed. Could you please cite your information?
[Nexus 5 General] Orbiting234:
Just upgraded from a SGS3 to a N5 and appear to have run headon into this issue. Noticed I wasn't getting an LTE connection at home anymore. Throwing it into airplane mode and out of it, I could see LTE light up for a second or two then jump back to 3G. So I think I'm suffering from this fallback issue. Can only assume the UUIC (pseudo "SIM") I got from Sprint is working correctly, right?
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
Its working properly i have a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile i can get 1 bar LTE but it will favor the 4 Bars of HSPA service instead

all i can say for others is Sprint is really sucking atm on their deployment and cannot keep pace with amount of customers coming in

id be surprised if they Scoop up T-Mobile and still exist after 2017

So far yes there is indeed an issue with the LG Nexus 5 and the LG G2 with LTE

[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Just read the article two posts up, my area is currently being enhanced by sprint so it is likely this is why my nexus 5 won't connect to my usually strong LTE signal.
[Nexus 5 General] EvanA:
Yep sounds like your area has eCSFB issues. The UUIC is working fine because without it the phone would never try LTE.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
I have noticed that more more towers are getting the fallback switches in the Raleigh/Durham NC area.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
Or read the opening post...

Check out the solution in the Op, if it works then you know it's a switch problem.
[Nexus 5 General] MinceMan:
Yes, but PRL has nothing to do with it as that's a roaming thing. The like I said I've been noticing more towers getting switches in my area.

[Nexus 5 General] oldblue910:
True that. I'm in Morrisville and there are plenty of places around Cary and Raleigh where the phone won't connect to LTE. It seems very hit or miss as to which towers have been upgraded and which haven't.
[Nexus 5 General] Joescan:
I'm really effected in the providence market, my wife's s4 is always on LTE but my N5 rarely is. This is beyond frustrating and thought we were past these issues.

[Nexus 5 General] oldblue910:
Sprint is getting better every day here in the Raleigh area. I'm picking up bands 26 and 41 all over the place which is resulting in better LTE coverage and speeds.
[Nexus 5 General] Joescan:
Just sucks, I wouldn't of bought my N5 a few months ago if I knew it was still this bad. I've been with sprint for 11 years now and owned a smartphone for the last 9 I just want reliable coverage.

Hi Everyone,

I have some experience of unlocking, rooting , flashing custom roms etc. but this issue has me really stumped and searching for the past couple of hours only led me to 1thread with a similar issue and no solutions. So here it is:

stock (4.3) N4 stuck in boot loop.

Fastboot oem unlock will not survive reboots, so I am unable to flash stock image back on my device.

Please Help with a solution to get this phone working again!

History:

Last night I turned on my wife's N4 (Android 4.3 stock) and put it on charge and walked away. This morning I found it is stuck on the "X" boot screen and red hot. I powered down, let it cool for 1/2 hour and then fully charged it (while off).

It will no longer boot, sticking on the "X" screen.

Booting into fastboot and choosing recovery leads me to android with red "!".

This phone has never been rooted, unlocked, custom recovery or custom ROM. ( I have however done all of this to my other N4)

Attempts:

Decided to wipe it and reisntall stock 4.3, lots of errors because it is locked.

So 1st step is to unlock, however whenever I do fastboot oem unlock I get the prompt about unlock and YES/ NO. I select YES and it successful erases and report LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED in red.

I reboot the phone into fastboot and LOCK STATE - ENABLED in green. Now stuck on what to do next.

(Secure boot - enabled).

Many thanks in advance.

I rebooted into fastboot and issued

fastboot oem unlock

LOCK STATE- unlocked

I then rebooted again into fastboot

LOCK STATE- enabled :crying:

update:

I see errors after the wipe cache (successful)

E:failed to mount / cache (Invalid argument)

then lots of errors of failure to mount other cache sub directories and flies.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the android with the red "!" IS the stock recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcsens2:
Summary so far:

N4 (stock) stuck at "X" screen.

booting into recovery and doing factory wipe + reset formats ok (but results in errors mounting cache)

"fastboot oem unlock" will unlock the phone for next reboot (google logo + unlock symbol) where it will then hang.

Subsequent reboots the device is locked (hang at Google screen withOUT unlock symbol).

Booting into Fastboot the device is locked again.

More help gratefully received.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it sounds like you might have an issue with the storage. at least when the storage goes bad, it follows the same symptoms. usually when the storage goes, people just find their device on X. if unlocking the device results to going back to locked after a reboot, it sounds like its actually not clearing the storage of the device, which would happen if the storage went back.
